A gritty sci-fi noir thriller featuring a war-hardened investigator, a sharp-tongued AI partner, criminal syndicates, political corruption, and a decades-old conspiracy.
A decorated soldier returns home to find she’s become the next target.
First Sergeant Jill Tower expected rest after a brutal year in deep space. Instead, she finds her home destroyed, her career in ruins, and Nakon City rotting from the inside out. When the son-in-law of a powerful admiral is murdered and the authorities refuse to investigate, Jill is offered a temporary commission with sweeping authority and one clear objective: solve the case fast.
The deeper she digs, the darker the truth becomes. The victim had powerful enemies, dangerous secrets, and ties to the Three Dragons syndicate. Smugglers move an illicit substance known as Cerulean Blue through the city’s ports. Politicians are playing a long game. And someone is willing to kill to keep it buried.
With only her combat instincts and her razor-sharp AI partner PENY at her side, Jill navigates ambushes, betrayal, and a conspiracy that stretches far beyond a single murder. In a city built on secrets, trusting the wrong person could be fatal.
A Taste For Cerulean Blue is Book 1 in the Nakon Trilogy series. Perfect for readers who love Blade Runner–style sci-fi noir, twist-driven investigations, and character-rich futuristic thrillers in the vein of Richard K. Morgan and gritty space-age crime fiction.
